GET INVOLVED IN INCLUDED SPECIAL NEEDS MINISTRY
We believe in offering a safe space for our friends of all ages and abilities. We love to learn about Jesus and have fun while doing so. We have several opportunities to join our ministry family, and we promise you will be loved BIG. You are not required to have a background in special needs, a formal education in special needs, or any special medical knowledge. All you need is a love for God and a love to serve.

You can also check out our opportunities in the list below.
Discovery Tours: Not sure where you would like to serve? Join us for a Discovery Tour on the 2nd Sunday of each month at either 9:30 or 11:00 am and explore our vibrant Next Gen Ministries up close, see how we create engaging and meaningful experiences, and discover the many ways you can get involved. During your tour, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at our programs, meet our dedicated team, and learn about the exciting opportunities to make a difference. No need to register, just meet our staff in the atrium of Building A.
Serve with us!
We would love to have you serve any time you can. Our friends enjoy meeting new people and having someone to visit with. Please email included@fmcm.org the dates you are available and we will get you on the calendar.

Are you ready to make a difference in someone else's life? Serve at our first annual Included Ball on Friday, February 28th. It takes over 300 volunteers to put on this magical evening hosted by our Included Special Needs Ministry. Our biggest need is for people to serve as buddies for our guests, but there are many other opportunities. Registration to serve is open and we would love for you to consider joining us in serving that evening and help make it A Night to Remember. |
